Yeah I think most people experience that same shock when they see him for the first time, after hearing his music. ><
About rickrolling...it's an internet phenomenon that started 3 or 4 years ago. People would show a youtube link on a site and say it was one thing, but when a person would click the link, it would actually take them to the very song in my post. It was very common thing. Some people, like myself, actually had memorized the random letter tags that appear at the end of the youtube links for his song, and were then able to ignore those videos when people posted them in order to avoid getting 'rolled'.
You don't see it as much now, but it was incredibly popular for awhile. On one occasion, youtube actually made every link on its front page a rick-roll link to honor the sneaky fad.

I haven't seen any, I admit. I actually just hear these songs on radio shows and enjoy them enough to check them out later. I wouldn't mind watching some though, and probably will soon. Have any cool ones to recommend?
